Mindfulness: The Science

A growing body of scientific research conducted over the past 35 years supports mindfulness as an effective complementary treatment to many different physical and mental health issues, as well as promoting an overall sense of well-being.

Research has consistently shown that the practice of mindfulness can help people reduce their stress levels in all areas of life. The growing field of neuroscience has also demonstrated that mindfulness can strengthen key areas of the brain associated with positive emotions while decreasing areas of the brain associated with the stress activation system of “fight, flight, or freeze.”
